If we were ever going to get married, below is the time we should have done it. Ten years ago, when we’d just got back together again after trashing one another’s hearts. We were so excited about being in love and so skittish with one another, wondering if we were going to last this time. And we both had such good hair, would have been perfect for our wedding photos. (Man, I’ve aged since then).
Happy Anniversary to us (tomorrow). Still going strong.
Happy Anniversary Bluemilk! Ten years, kinda zips past , doesn’t it.
Happy anniversary! Good for you for not getting married if that wasn’t right for you. I hope you stay together many, many more years!
You’re NOT Married?!?!? I’m never coming here again! Just kidding. . . happy Noniversary.
Cute! Happy Anniversary!
Hair clips!! I remember. And tight T-shirts. We’ve all aged since then.
Congratulations.
Happy Anniversary, A+D, you adorable renegades! You do realise that if we’d had a wedding party for you ten years ago it would have ended up being one hot mess of debauchery and you’d have probably broken up the next day over some kind of post-debauchery lack of cleaning up by D, so you both definitely made the right decision, right? You two make one of the most fabulously sorted couples I know, so please keep on keepin’ on being my role models for maintaining a relationship and staying interesting entities in your own rights, forever.
Happy Anniversary, and many many more!
Happy Anniversary for today. May you have many more happy years together and lots more blogging years too.
Oh look at you! I never saw you before.
(I want to say you’re hot, but I don’t know if it’s very feminist of me – the computer just told me off for posting comments too quickly, now I seem ever more inappropriately excited)
happy non-wedding anniversary! I’m like Penni, excited to see your photos, even if they were taken ten years ago. Bet you’re both still cuties! (Totally meant in a non-objectivefying, feminist manner)
have a great day 🙂
Firstly, thank you everyone for the well wishes. This formalising of our anniversary really has something going for it, I feel genuinely chuffed to have other people acknowledge our togetherness.
Helen – Totally zips past.
Tracee – I know, scandalous.
Kris – Hairclips and tight t-shirts and coloured hair and piercings – such an era – tragic isn’t it. Hahaha.
Aw Emilicon, nice to see you here. xxx.
Penni and janet – too sweet, but sadly I wasn’t kidding when I said I’d aged.
Mindy, Janet, fightingwindmills, and Moxie – thank you.
You shouldn’t have gotten married ten years ago. My years in the catering business taught me that second weddings are way better fun that first weddings (there’s no princess for a start, and no one trying to make someone into a princess) and I’m inclined to think it’s the best of both worlds to get married once, but when you’re old enough that it could be a second wedding. Or something.
Congratulations. Also, thanks for reminding me to organise our nominal anniversary weekend away. You’re so handy! No wonder he sticks around.
Congratulations! You were quite a cute couple back then; I doubt that’s changed all that much! 🙂
You so look like someone I would have hung out with 10 years ago.
Al has all these holes from his piercings which are now all but closed up. It’s kind of like the physical manifestation of a disappearing youth ….
Oh, man. You’re both adorable. Absolutely adorable. Congratulations!!

[…] is so nice to come across this from Bettina Arndt and feel wild and sinful about the whole being shacked-up-with-a-man-and-kids-and-no-wedding-ring thing. It is difficult to alarm anybody these days as a monogamous heterosexual. Sad to say, ‘my […]
[…] So, Happy Anniversary to you, honey. I still adore you. […]
